Stephen Curry Makes a Little Girl's Dream Come True

30 November, 2018

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors received a curious letter from a young fan named Riley, just like his firstborn daughter, asking for the availability of his signature sneakers; the Under Armour Curry 5s, in women's sizes.

Furthermore, Riley will not only receive a pair of Curry 5's and Curry 6's for her efforts, but the basketball star issued a mysterious invitation to join him in Oakland for a special event on International Women's Day. I am a big fan of yours.

In one of his first real tests in a Raptors uniform against a legitimate contender (albeit, a shorthanded one), Kawhi showed up at Scotiabank Arena in a big way and popped off for his best game of the young season - posting 37 points, eight boards and three assists while dropping 14-of-24 from the floor and going 3-for-6 from downtown. They're asking young, fairly inexperienced players to fill roles of National Basketball Association superstars and tonight, versus one of the league's deepest teams, we could see that if that's what they're relying on in a seven game series in the playoffs, things might not turn out how they have the past four years for them.

"I know you support girls athletes because you have two daughters and you host an all girls basketball camp", she continued.

"I appreciate your concern and have spent the last two days talking to Under Armour about how we can fix the issue", Curry wrote. "My dad and I visited the Under Armour website and were disappointed to see that there were no Curry 5's for sale under the girl's section".

On Thursday, Curry tweeted his handwritten response to Riley, pledging to have smaller sizes of his shoe appropriately listed in the girls' section. "We are correcting this NOW!"

Curry, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, got off to a strong start this season as the Warriors launched their bid for a third straight NBA title. "I wanted to help make things equal for all girls, because girls play basketball, too".

Leonard went into the game a flawless 6-for-6 in the regular season and playoffs against Golden State since the 2014-15 season, averaging 20.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

Well, Curry wrote back, and the response was great.

"I want to make sure you can wear my kicks proudly", Curry wrote.

The much-anticipated night - a rare nationally televised game in the USA, and the Warriors' only regular-season trip to Toronto - lived up to its promise.
